Chapter 266: Suspicion
This jadeite looks very green and clear, because it is a fine jade, so it has a bit of blue.
The workmanship is very fine, although it is hand-polished, but it is no different from the machine, no wonder the jewelry made by Yang Nuguan is sought after by so many people.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Gardenia stepped aside and asked Late Winter to groom Shang Kelan.
Just as late winter picked up a box of powder to brush Shang Kelan, she was stopped by Shang Kelan: "You don't need to put on such a white powder today, let's get a solemn and solemn makeup for the palace." ”
In this way, you can overwhelm the other party in momentum.
If nothing else, Zhao Kehan must have dressed up carefully today, and she is still waiting to see what good show Zhao Kehan has prepared at the palace banquet!
Thinking like this, Shang Kelan hooked her lips slightly and laughed.
The winter solstice palace banquet in the palace was not as luxurious as the last Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, after all, everything was simple, and when it was winter, His Majesty allocated a lot of silver to the soldiers on the frontier.
This time the palace banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, where flowers were still in full bloom, and by noon, the sky was still snowing.
The chamberlain receives the invitation at the door to take notes, and when a guest comes, he announces the name of the guest.
When the guests were almost there, Jin Yantang and Shang Kelan came.
"Your Majesty has arrived! Concubine Chen's mother has arrived! ”
When the inner servant read Zhao Kehan, he read her "Concubine Xiaochen" according to Concubine Chen's meaning, which did not attract everyone's attention.
It's just that Concubine Xiao Chen rushed to the front and saluted: "Concubine see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!" See Concubine Chen! ”
After the rest of the people reacted, they saluted the two, and at this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Kexi as if they were nothing.
I saw Zhao Kexi wearing a set of gorgeous and delicate jade heads, looking extravagant, she was wearing a set of cyan palace clothes, she looked slightly mature, but more dignified, and she looked very gentle.
It's just that this jade is clearly ...... It is made of scraps.
It's just a cheap material, but it's deliberately exquisite.
People who don't understand jewelry will naturally like it when they see it.
Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Shang Kelan, and saw Shang Kelan's lips smiling, so he said to Zhao Kexi: "Your headdress is good, let's be flat." ”
Fupu said to the guests on the side: "Your Majesty has invited you to gather in the Imperial Garden today, and Your Majesty said when he came, and you will treat this place as your own family banquet, and you don't need to be formal!" ”
"Wechen thanked Your Majesty!"
After another thanks, everyone returned to their original positions.
The Queen Mother Yu Jiafei sat on the chair and spoke, the two didn't know what to say, and they smiled very happily.
Today, Concubine Jia is not as gorgeous and luxurious as in the past, she is still wearing a peach-embroidered palace dress, but whether it is makeup or hairstyle, it has changed, and it looks like a girl.
Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sat beside Jin Yantang quietly.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Zhao Kehan came over to salute, and his voice was as delicate as before.
"The concubines see Your Majesty, and the concubines see Concubine Chen." Dumbo eBook
The positions of several people from high to low are still Jin Yantang, Queen Mother, Concubine Chen, Concubine Jia and Concubine Xiaochen.
The rest of the palace concubines who were good enough for the four grades also participated in the palace banquet.
Shang Kelan looked at Zhao Kehan for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "Concubine Jia's face is particularly good today, and she looks like she has put a lot of effort into dressing up." ”
Zhao Kexi looked at Shang Kelan with annoyance on the side, it must be because of the appearance of this woman that His Majesty did not set his eyes on her, this jade head, she really spent her effort to get it in vain!
It's just that when she heard Shang Kelan say this about Zhao Kehan, Zhao Kexi was stunned for a moment: Could it be that this woman is praising her sister?
Zhao Kehan didn't seem to understand, and only said politely to Shang Kelan: "Thanks to Concubine Chen's praise, the concubine feels that Concubine Chen's mother is also very extraordinary today." ”
Looking at it a few days ago, she was too sick to get out of bed, and her face was very pale, but today she was dressed so solemnly, and she looked like the lord of the main palace, and she couldn't see how weak she was before.
And judging from her complexion, she definitely didn't deliberately put on a lot of powder to put on makeup.
This solemnity revealed a natural feeling, which made Zhao Kehan very disgusted.
It's just that her eyes sparkled slightly, and she didn't say anything.
But Zhao Kehan's outfit gave Jin Yantang a familiar feeling, his eyes moved slightly, and then said: "Okay, sit down and talk, Concubine Chen, you can't stand for a long time, sit down." ”
Jin Yantang took into account Shang Kelan's body, so he helped her sit down beside him.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked again.
That position can only be sat by the queen, but the former queen was deposed because of rebellion, and now Shang Kelan's status is the most respected in the palace, and it doesn't hurt to enjoy this kind of treatment.
Everyone sighed and sighed in private, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
After all, behind this imperial concubine, the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is supporting her, and she herself is so favored by His Majesty.
Zhao Kexi was immediately unconvinced, got up and pointed at Shang Kelan unwillingly: "Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen is not the queen at all, and it is not in accordance with etiquette for her to sit in this seat!" ”
A group of concubines led by Concubine Jia also chimed in.
Shang Kelan sat on the seat, glanced at these people with a smile, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, as the monarch of the world, will you not understand the rules?" As we all know, the palace is recovering from a serious illness, and His Majesty is just caring about the concubine's body, why, the sisters look at it, it seems that they don't want the palace to heal? ”
In the harem, the concubines should have lived in harmony, even if they fought fiercely inside, they didn't dare to move to the palace banquet.
Besides, if they responded to Shang Kelan's words, it would really be a slander against His Majesty for not understanding the rules and a curse for Concubine Chen to die of illness.
Suddenly, the concubines who spoke shut up one after another, not daring to say more, but said, "The concubines don't dare." ”
Zhao Kexi saw that they were so easily dismissed by Shang Kelan's words, and he suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but want to speak again.
But Zhao Kehan came out in time to play a round and said with a smile: "Your Majesty cares about Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen has also done a lot of things for Your Majesty. ”
Jin Yantang's eyes flashed with a complicated color, nodded to Zhao Kehan, and said, "I know, you can sit too." ”
Zhao Kehan wanted him to have a direct relationship with Zhao Kexi before, and Jin Yantang always kept it in mind.
He obviously sent Fupu to investigate, and sent some palace people to investigate, but he didn't even find anything suspicious, as if he was almost unconscious in Ximeng Palace twice, and he was a little confused, all of which were done by himself, and had nothing to do with Zhao Kehan at all.
But Jin Yantang knew that he must have fallen into something ecstasy, but even if he suspected Zhao Kehan, there was nothing he could do, because he couldn't find evidence to prove that Zhao Kehan did all this!
